Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 marks on March 15, 2018. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,000,000 marks on December 15, 2017.

What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods?c. What is the net cash outflow to acquire the raw materials?
